Construction is progressing but help is still needed!

How often do you have the chance to build a layout that 100’s of people will get to enjoy? Help us complete the model of Tacoma’s Half Moon Yard. Our typical schedule is Mon thru Fri, 9 am to at least 1 pm. We may be able to work longer if museum staff is available, up to 5 pm. Always call before coming in to ensure there have been no last minute changes.

Additional details are on the previous Grab Iron blog post.

Please contact me (Bud Thompson) to let us know if you can help, at 206-310-9414 or budmanthe3rd@yahoo.com.

Help Wanted!

Use all of your model railroading skills to help construct two layouts in the Foss Waterway Seaport (FWS) at 705 Dock Street, Tacoma, WA. We are building an HO scale model of the Northern Pacific’s “Half Moon Yard” that is located across the street from the FWS. We are also building a G scale layout that visitors to the FWS can use to demonstrate their switching abilities.

Both layouts are funded and we have building materials and tools on hand for volunteers to use. The next workshop will be Sunday, Mar 15th from 9 am to 5 pm, followed by workshops on Monday from 10 am to 3 pm and Tue through Friday from 8 am to 1 pm. Come and work as long as you wish. Attendees will be able to use existing skills and possibly learn some new ones, all while we are building the HO and G scale layouts.

Please contact me (Bud Thompson) to let us know if you can help, at 206-310-9414 or budmanthe3rd@yahoo.com.
